Incredible story of a man fishing at Kaohsiungs Chen Ching lake (its illegal to fish there) who saw a 37 year old lady jump into the water attempting suicide. He was able to snare her with the fishhook and reel her in !! That is some pretty strong line and some great fly casting ! 119 was called and the woman was saved thanks to this guy who was fishing illegally but who had the foresight to use what he had to save a life !
We get a lot of bad news in the news, its good to get some good news for a change. We need more heros .
Plenty of people fish there in spite of what the signs say. I don’t buy the story as presented, either. Unless he was fishing for sturgeon, I doubt the tackle he had would have been heavy enough to reel in a human.
Yeah i learned a wee bit bout fishing and thats the first thing that I thought. The line and hook would have to be strong enough to reel in a frickin SHARK.
Actually the line wouldn’t have to be that strong. All you need to do is overcome the force of friction and any currents acting on the body. You wouldn’t have to support the full weight of the lady.
